Good for them!

IMO - wonderful! Thanks for letting us know, thursdaysd.

Thanks. That seems wise.

Uh, the headline is overstated. They're banning selfies, mobile phone pics, and use of selfie-sticks because people are inordinately stupid. They're not banning all pics.

Are you talking about Conde Nast's headline or mine? I said "some". However, the ban includes "digital cameras", my use of "some" referred to the fact that it only applies to two locations.

" Photo-taking with mobile phones, smartphones, digital cameras, and selfie sticks on the Tsutenkyo Bridge and the Gaunkyo Bridge will be prohibited as it is very dangerous."

Good to know this. Thanks for the info @thursdaysd!

The Tsutenkyo Bridge is a paid entry area. They could control the crowds and stupid tourists taking photos by controlling the number of people allowed to buy tickets for any time period.
